Of course vaccines are about harm reduction. How can that be "not true" in any frame? What is even the logical alternative? Are we trying to reduce the infection count because smaller numbers are aesthetically more pleasing? I'm not sidestepping the issue. There is no difficult ethical dilemma here, and nothing changed with the new variant. If there was a mistake regarding the vaccines, it was to discuss vaccination as optional opposed to the clear ethical obligation that it is. Just like no one is entitled to store unstable explosives in candlelight in a shed next to their neighbour's house.
